Really the best lug nuts. FYI stay away from Volk Formula lug nuts. They inner key strips.

Nice build. Looking forward to more.

Also, need sound clip of the tomei.

The titanium exhaust sounds insane especially with no cat. It's raspy high pitch sound with a deep base. I will snag a video tonight.

really impressive start. holy shit.

Nice job so far. I was just about to say the wheel will look ugly with those seats.

Nice work, came in with low expectations (this is zilvia after all) and was pleasantly surprised.

Don't particularly care for the BC coils, seems like an incongruous choice to the rest of the build quality but maybe you know something I don't.

Also I think you'll regret the polyurethane bushings in the uprights down the line. After various installations on my and friends cars that led to binding, squeaking and one broken traction arm I will never use them again in that application. Spherical, Nismo or oem in that order is what I would recommend.

Wow this is an awesome build so far. are you on Skylineownersusa.com?

I have been using GTRgarage for my brokering services for parts for my R32 (will be here Mid July/August), Rivsu is who imported it for me.

Interested in your factory lip if you still have it in good condition.

Will be keeping tabs on this. Going with mostly Cusco and Blitz parts on my R32 (came with a lot of parts already), but I too am going with BC coils. used them on my husband's car and my last S13. they are superb quality for the price.

I read some big write up about BC that they were the best knock off out there and their quality etc to back up why. Ideally suspension for the GTR price wise start off past $2k for race quality. I'm really happy with the results so far just driving around town. I will watch out for the poly thanks for the heads up.

I'm not on skylineownerusa. GTRgarage prices are super high. Use fromjapan.co.jp and pay 75% less or more what they are charging.

haven't complained too much about the fees on GTRgarage, just bought a set of SSR wheels from them this week actually. Still trying to figure out how to work fromjapan. is there a good way to use the estimator on there?

Factory Lip is in good condition I think. $100 plus shipping and it's yours.

So much envy, really hope to have an R32 as well. Thank you very much for posting this, you and i think alike when it comes to the mods, OEM or a well known racing brand for performance parts.

Sub'd for more!!

EDIT: Are those titanium lugs nuts $150 per lug??

damn you hit the ground running lol Great start!

Funny you mentioned Right Drive and their containers arriving any day now. They have 9 in total that are arriving, so you should have your items sooner then later.

awesome build. so nice to see someone focused on quality rather than just the usual illest bullshit. when you get those lugnuts can you do me a favor and measure the o.d. of them? all the panasports i have use a very narrow hole for the lug nut to drop down and it restricts which type of lug nut i can use.

Your comment set me at ease. I have a bunch of money with rightdrive and in the back of my mind is scam city. Still crossing my fingers though. Good thing is that Daryl always responds to me in 24 hours so I still have some faith. I swear any moment I'm expecting to see his face on American Greed on some yacht off Greece smoking Virginia slims laughing.

Nah, you're in good hands so don't worry. There was actually a big dock/port workers strike over in BC, so no containers were being processed for weeks. And then they'd slowly trickle through...

My car was actually held up there for weeks... So like I said, don't sweat it :)

.............except i despise the seats, they look horrendous. r32/33 seats never need to be changed (unless they get changed with r34)
